Spring Colour Forecast

Really had to cut my list down for this MASSIVE collection. It's actually 4 collections in one. Consists of Pink, plum, coral and amber color stories. I really wanted a lot more, but it all really adds up and I spent more than I planned on as it is. I really like everything I got though and it's colors that I think are really wearable for work or play. There are a bunch of new collections coming out in the next few weeks from MAC, but I think this will be my main purchase. I think MAC puts out too many collections too close together and for junkies like me it's hard to keep up sometimes. I try to research the collections before they come out and then figure out what I want. I make a list and then go see the collection in person. There are usually good swatches of new collections on the web, but seeing in person and trying the color before you buy is always the best bet. I usually only online for things I need to refill or brushes and stuff since the closest MAC pro store is downtown Chicago. So let me know if you get anything from this collection and if you love it?!

Spring Colour Forecast Blush Ombre

Azale Blossom. These blushes are really pretty! Something new from MAC. They are tri-colored blushes that go from light to dark.

Ripe Peach

Spring Colour Forecast Eyeshadows

Left to right- Very Violet, LaLa, Straw Harvest, Rosy Out Look- All limited eddition items. The shadow in the pan is called DA BLING, it's part of this collection but not LE therefore was avalible in a pan (which is a lot cheaper and I don't have to depot it to put in my pallettes).

Spring Colour Forecast lipsticks

                     Laugh a lot, Bubble Gum, Radicchio, Pink Burst, Hang Up

I think everyone should have this...

This is a sculpt and shape product. The dark part you apply to places you want to hide, like the hollows of your cheeks, a double chin, the side of a large nose. The light side is the highlighter, so that is the part you would put on your cheek bones, your forehead, down the side of your nose. The highlighter makes parts you want to show off stand out. It's like plastic surgery without the surgery part!!! I like this little compact because its together in one place. I have these from the pro store as two separate blush pans in my blush palette. This is nice to try for someone who has never sculpted before. It makes a HUGE difference to your face. It can literally make your face look 10 pounds lighter. I use a small angled brush (MAC 168) to do the sculpting (darker color). And then use a contour brush (MAC 109 I believe) to highlight. The contour brush is recommended to use as sculpt or contour (hence the name), but I really like the angled brush for that. It really gets into the hollows of the cheeks and makes you look like you have fabulous cheek bones. If you don't have access to a MAC store, most other lines have products similar to this, or you can just buy a really dark blush or bronzer. I think every makeup company has a highlighter product. So if you weren't born with good bone structure, get out there and do it yourself!

Fall collection items I bought

This is what I ended up getting from the fall collection. I love all the shadows, really bright and pretty. I will swatch these later. Now just waiting for the black on black collection later this month.

Put the order in...

Ordered a boatload of stuff from the fall collections. I got pretty much everything I wanted which was mostly all shadows! I didn't get any lip stuff at all. Thank goodness for my pro discount is all I can say cause all my stuff (plus 2 small things for a friend) was like 300.00 without it! I did get free shipping, hmm that doesn't sound any better! I will put up color swatches as soon as the big box from MAC hits my door.

Tells the background of the three artists that inspire and design the fall collections. Cool color charts for the fall looks too.

I will be going to pick up some parts or all of the collections and will be doing some reviews soon. I want to start making videos but am really nervous to do so! Maybe just reviews to start and then some tutorials?

MAC is trying to bankrupt me!

I don't see a lot for the artist Marilyn Minter's (photographer) collection that interests me. I have most of these pigments already. Really just one pigment I really want. "push the edge" a really hot purple color. $19.50

MAC is trying to bankrupt me!

This is artist Maira Kalman, illustrater. Her style is childlike and whimsical. Bright fun colors!

top row-liners "color matters, obviously orange, artistic license, full of fushsia, graphblack" $14.50

top row-shadows "violet trance, purple shower, haunting" $14.50

(in decending order)

bottom row-shadows "maira's mood, off the page, crest the wave" $14.50

starflash shadows

12 new shadows from MAC. I'm a bit slow on these as they came out last week. Just got these 3 to start. The far left color is "rated R" and was sold out everywhere. Was able to snag one at a Macy's. Really pretty color that blends well with many other colors. I can see why it's so popular. The middle is a green called "one-off" I LOVE greens if you don't all know by now, and this one is awesome. The starflash colors have a shine to them which I think shows up pretty well on the swatch on my finger. The blue on the right is "strike a pose". A nice deep blue with that flash to it. I will be ordering more, was short on cash at the mall this time!

226 brush

How I love this brush!!! It's part of the colourcraft collection that came out on Thursday. This is an Limited edition brush that had come out with the blondes,brunettes, redheads collection in Feb. It sold out then and was impossible to get a hold of one. I passed on it then and heard so many good things about it, that I had made sure to get one this time around. I can understand the hype now. It is a nice stiff brush that is somewhat pointy and is great for the creases. Blends shadows in crease perfect! The pointy part of the brush is also great for detail work in corners and under lash line. Just awesome!

MAC shadows I picked up today

I don't know if these colors really show though on here. from top left- "newly minted", really pretty matte bright green. "goldmine" a velvet goldish orangey color.
bottom from left- "satin Taupe" a beautiful chocolate brownish color is so amazing on all eye colors. really wearable and a must for all shadow wearers (is that a word?). In the middle is "brule". Eva got this last fall and it looks amazing on her so I thought I would pick this up since I don't already have this. "Samoa silk" is a light peachy orange matte color that I thought would be pretty for summer.

Style Warriors

MAC style warriors collection wasn't that exciting to me. Only bought these 2 shadows. Thought I would want a lot more, but wasn't feeling it. I felt like it's been forever since I was in the MAC store at woodfield! It's been almost a month? I'm excited to use this purple-"vibrant grape" and yellow/gold -"bright future" together. Will look really nice , I think!

I know I haven't added anything new in awhile! This is the look I created with the Hellp Kitty palette I was going on about in Feb! Still loving these fun colors and able to use them for lots of different looks.

The look-

painterly paint pot on eye as base
